Fed Evans prefers to wait “a little bit longer” before rate hike

Chicago Fed Charles Evans:

  • Still concerned with low inflation
  • “My own preference would be to wait a little bit longer, let the March anomalous inflation rate from a year ago fall out.”
  • “Let’s make sure these sort of Amazon, disruptive kind of pricing models aren’t continuing to find their way into keeping inflation lower than that.”
  • When inflation starts to show sign of heading to 2% target, he would be “much more confident” to continue “a gradual upward adjustment of the funds rate.”
